🔥 Welcome to Burning Mesh – Organizing the Meshtastic Deployment @ Burning Man 🌐
What is Meshtastic?<br>Burning Mesh is the decentralized, off-grid Meshtastic deployment at Burning Man , designed to keep camps, art cars, and adventurers connected across the playa – even with no cell service or WiFi . Whether you're tracking your friends or coordinating builds, we’ve got you covered with long-range LoRa mesh networking .
What We Do<br>Playa-Wide Communication – Send and receive text messages, GPS locations, and alerts across Black Rock City with Meshtastic devices.
Off-Grid Mesh Network – Built on solar-powered LoRa radios for reliable, low-power networking without infrastructure.
Community-Driven Tech – Built by Burners, for Burners — we support open-source firmware, hardware hacks, and radical collaboration.
Why It Matters<br>Burning Mesh helps artists, theme camps, and individuals stay connected and organized —from coordinating large-scale builds to tracking art cars and keeping your crew in sync. It’s a lightweight, low-power way to support communication, safety, and spontaneous collaboration across the playa.

Location Sharing<br>Share your location with campmates, track your bike/art car, or send your friends a rendevouz point so you dont get lost after using the portos.
Messaging<br>Send Messages to campmates/friends playa-wide using an intuitive texting-style interface.
DIY<br>DIY your own mesh devices for your specific use case - a stationary station, a portable device, or something to be installed on a bike/art car. An official Meshtastic Firmware has been released with burning man in mind.
